Addiction and Recovery with the Enneagram, feat. Nate Larkin and David Hampton [S02-035]

What are you addicted to? I don’t believe there is one person on
this planet who isn’t addicted to something. And when I say
addiction, I don’t necessarily mean addiction to substances.
Addiction is a compulsion to continue doing something despite
harmful consequences. And if we look at addiction through the
lens of the Enneagram, we can view the passion of each Enneagram
type as an addiction.

The Enneagram helps bring to awareness what these unconscious
addictions and compulsions are so we can start to unwind the
influence and power they have over our lives. In other words,
we can move into recovery from the worst side of our type.

So, in today’s episode, we talk about each Enneagram type’s
compulsion and what recovery (or sobriety) for that type looks
like.
